Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: February 23, 1946 (Encyclopædia Britannica Online; SNAC) or in 1945 (NUKAT; Dictionary of African Biography).

The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
